It's been a long time since I have blogged...
Amazing how time flies! Does it ever seem to you that we are on some fast track through life?
That everything is moving at the speed of light...
I turned 38 in January. What an amazing Birthday!
Robb surprised me with a PS3 and blue ray movies. An amazing Red velvet cake, my grandmother's recipe. Dinner at Cyclone Anayas with friends... He's Amazing!
This year my daughter graduates from high school... that will put perspective on age for you.
Eighteen years ago I was just a kid when we brought her home in an ice storm. We were no more than kids ourselves.
There is so much of her life I have not been a part of, but I'm happy to be in her life.
Going there for a holiday and for her graduation this May. She has grown to be such a beautiful young woman. I am proud of her!! And my son as well...
This past year has been interesting to say the least. At times I was not sure I could get up and go another day. Jan 18th was one year anniversary of my back surgery. I am much better than I was before surgery, but still have issues with my hips and low back. I can definately tell I am not as young as I used to be... Fast Track?
I have learned that no matter how difficult days may be... that we learn and we grow as a person only if we choose to... that we are able to look at life through rose colored glasses but we are also able to take them off and see the real world, allbeit not pretty!
I am blessed to be loved... blessed to share my life with someone who respects me & loves me as I am. Funny it has taken me so long to see who I really am... I can be emotional, stubborn, weak... but I think I am stronger today than ever... I am the best me I have ever been.
I hope to just keep getting better at that...
